This guy is doing it right. Not jaded at all. Totally enjoying the service business. I see some home cleaners totally jaded and depressed. Love the positivity!
Go for it! We have a great blogs on how to start a detailing business as well. Keep us posted on how it goes. Family and friends is great place to start testing out a business idea.
I did some renovation work for a small one bay shop WITHOUT a lift, owned by a 23yrs old. Just used car jacks, like in Nascar. All he did was swap tires from summer/winter, patch tire that is punctured and install/remove tire from rim. Business was for 2yrs and BOOMING, very happy returning clients. The owner (23yrs old), told me he learned ALL from youtube and bought used, but good equipment from larger tire shoops. He never worked in a tire shop. Got a great 3yr rental agreement on the shop
Nice videos about detailing! I’m curious, how do they handle people’s complaints about the damage, that was done by the detailing worker? For instance, in this video, the guy when he’s vacuuming the trunk, pulls the hose back and forth, so there must be some damage to the edge. How do you handle that? Insurance? Damage to the Bentley or Rolls must be expensive. And what if some leather cleaner goes wrong and will damage seats? Thanks!
There was no damage at all. In 29 years we’ve had 5 damage complaints. The hose plastic is softer than the plastic molding. These vehicles are daily drivers - as are 99% of the vehicles we detail. There is visible wear and tear and aging on these vehicles and our clients are extremely happy at the improvement our processes produce. Read our Google reviews and you’ll see:)
Is the $$ he states he makes in Gross or Net figures? If Gross, what would be his Net monthly income (approx)? What does he do in the wintertime? does he have a garage to clean the cars in? You see a lot of questionable businesses on youtube stating higher than normal income #s as marketing gimmicks. I am hoping that this channel does not inflate numbers just for more clicks?! I do love what you guys are doing, as it gives watchers ideas for businesses... pls keep up the good work!
In terms of Gross and Net I'm not 100 percent sure so I'll ask and get back to you. In terms of Winter time we have a couple options. First, we mainly focus on interiors on the winter as those still need to be done. Second, we do carry canopies as some people still want to get their cars treated throughout the winter. As long as it's not raining to hard we can pull it off. Third, we luckily live and work in higher income areas so most of our customers have larger and empty garages that we can work out of. It does slow down in the winter, some winters are a little harder than others, but we make it through
Just some of the specific cleaners of tools used was a great value he gave that I haven’t seen in many other similar videos. So thanks for that. I rent a great property with a lot of space and a large garage so I thought this might be a good side hustle for me. Then I thought about the gravel driveway I have and that kinda deterred me from this. Any thoughts or ideas there? I know some people would prefer you to come to their house to do the job? My other question would be insurance, ruining someone’s vehicle somehow or even their property if that’s where you work?
Thank for watching Joe. You still have the option to start a detailing business if this is of interest to you. Would you consider a mobile detailing business, renting a space for the business? Insurance is definitely required to protect from mishaps. Have you checked out the mobile detailing business video on the channel?
I was thinking of starting a mobile detailing business In Phoenix. And was deciding between having my own water at least but I think I'm going the route where I plug In to the clients power and water. I'm trying out new products this summer on my own brand new car to make sure I get It right for customers. I want to leave my future customers 100% satisfied. I'm more and more excited after watching more and more videos about detailing.
I'd check out Detail Geek and Apex Auto Detailing, they have some really great videos. Also using the clients water and power is a great route as long as you mention it to them when you make the appointment. We have done it from the beginning and I've run into only 1 person who had a problem with it, and in the end they still had use detail their car
Same thought right here live in Phoenix trying to make some extra cash but damn it's so hot here and the water is so hard that it's very unencouraging to even start up.
We do use the clients water and electricity. We establish that when the appointment is made and we've been doing that since the beginning. In all those years I only had one client make a comment about it
@@jinjoz42 horrible ive had many clients ask me if i carry spotless water cause they dont want hard water spots thats bad Paint damage knowledgeable clients know What's best for there vehicles not having spotless water is unprofessional in this buissness
@@VurdaiCleaningServices if your using well water or live in an area with heavy water than yes, it is best to provide your own water and filter it. Luckily where we are located we don't have that problem. For almost 30 years we have been using the customers water and Power and in that time I've had 1 client complain about it. 90 percent of my clients pull out there hose and give me an extension cord set out before I even get there. If using their water is 'unprofessional' than I guess the thousands and thousands of clients I personally have taken care of are all secretly hiding their anger about it. We also dry the car the immediately after washing and if it's hot day, we throw up a canopy and get it in the shade to prevent it from drying to quickly. All in all, we're seeing success with our methods and I have happy clients. I can go home happy.
Love your show,but why areyou featuring only that kind of ventures? You just started publishing cleaning or cooking...there's so much more different businesses out there
We will be offering a wide variety of business videos and release new ones every week Milan. Have you seen any of the new Shark Tank business videos yet?
Is this business nature friendly/ecological since you use a lot of chemicals? In a lot of EU countries washing cars on a street is not allowed. Chemicals and contaminated water needs to be separated from drain system.
There are some states where you do need to reclaim your water. Basically you have to wash the car on top of a tarp with the edges all folded up and than suck up the water. We luckily don't love in a state where that is required. We also use a very eco friendly car soap as that is really the only 'dirty' water that will go on the drain
There are plenty of eco-friendly products in the car detailing and washing industry making it easy to run a "green" environment friendly focused business.
Only 1 horrible mistake i see is why use hard water instead of having your own tank with Spotless water using tap water damages the vehicles Paint causes Hard Water Spots witch becomes clearly visible on Paint witch then requires the customer more money inorder pay a Detailer to remove them , you said in your buissness perspective you found having your own Spotless Water was unecesary that so wrong in many ways as a " DETAILER" You know this yet still conduct your buissness this way and obviously the customers who hire you have no knowledge in this area so its a deep taking advantage type of wrong doing thing you have going on here but hey watever floats your boat
I get what your saying and that would make total sense if he was doing just a wash but if your are polishing or waxing after the wash it won’t matter. Ppl aren’t gonna call this dude for just a wash. At least that’s how I look at it.
If your using well water or live in an area with hard water than yes that is a concern and having a filter on your water is needed. We fortunately don't have to deal with that as much where we are at. On hotter days we also have canopies that we will put up to keep the cars cool on the shade and make it safe to wash. Typically we also don't go to people's homes just to wash cars, it's not really worth the trip unless were making less than 200 dollars a car. But since the business has begun we have been using customers water and power and I nthe 13 years I've been doing it I have only rand into 1 customer who had a problem with it. This means we haven't seen the need to purchase a water tank or use loud generators. It's worked very well for us
Depends on the state and how long the shift is, but he can choose not to personally take a lunch break. The U.S. has really crappy labor laws compared to the rest of the world.
@@tonygonzalez305 in Minnesota, you only get a lunch if you work 8 hours, and any lunch break over 20 minutes can be unpaid, but 20 or under must be paid.
My portfolio of a million dollars was achieved by a wonderful broker I met in a conference in Berlin, since I met her I have had no need to worry about my stock investment , her commissions are also good , its good you find a broker who will manage your asset while you focus on other things in your life
@@frederickricardo4560 I heard of this calm woman in a conference in Australia , right now she is handling stock investment of 150k for my boss.. Great!
Very arrogant to say that a customer can't tell the difference between a 6 and 10 level detail.. so what your saying is your charging premium rates... and delivering 60% quality and just hoping that most customers wont notice the difference. That's very scammy.

Most every complaint can be handled by the detailer by just taking extra time and care to fix whatever the car detailing customer worry is.
There was no damage at all. In 29 years we’ve had 5 damage complaints. The hose plastic is softer than the plastic molding. These vehicles are daily drivers - as are 99% of the vehicles we detail. There is visible wear and tear and aging on these vehicles and our clients are extremely happy at the improvement our processes produce. Read our Google reviews and you’ll see:)
Yup, and those cars are not going to be in museums, they are daily drivers. It takes Metal to do noticeable damage.
$29,000 a month is roughly $1000 a day. How many cars a day get detailed and what does he charge customers vs paying employees?
We will try to gather this information in an upcoming mobile car detailing shoot Justin!
He said 4-5 cars a day is good, so I am guessing their average job is in the $250-400 range
He said he has multiple vans.
Is the $$ he states he makes in Gross or Net figures? If Gross, what would be his Net monthly income (approx)?
What does he do in the wintertime? does he have a garage to clean the cars in?

Don’t use the absorber. At least up grade your polishers to a Rupes or something. Porter cable is good but takes alot longer to get the job done.

Do you use your own water or does the costumer let you use their own water line ?
They use the customers water source Andy.
How do they market themselves and brand themselves.
Local advertising, social media, word of mouth, cold outreach etc.
do you tell them on the phone hey we dont bring our own water or power???? is that ok
How does he advertise it?
Mostly word of mouth. They have been in business a very long time.
Right
